Jonas Blixt, Brendon de Jonge and Ryan Moore left everyone else behind yesterday in the Justin
Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas.

Blixt birdied six of the last seven holes for a 5-under-par 66 and a share of the lead with
Moore and de Jonge — five strokes ahead of their closest rivals in the Fall Series opener at TPC
Summerlin.

Moore had a bogey-free 65, and de Jonge birdied four of the last five for a 66 to tie Blixt at
19 under.

“Today was just a good, solid day,” Moore said. “I didn’t do anything amazing, but, at the same
time, I just did what I’ve been doing this whole week, just put it in play, gave myself a bunch of
wedges, 9-irons into greens, and was able to convert a bunch of my reasonable birdie chances.”

Moore, a former UNLV player who lives in Las Vegas, won the 2009 Wyndham Championship for his
lone PGA Tour title. Blixt, from Sweden, and de Jonge, from Zimbabwe, are winless on the PGA
Tour.

The three leaders played in the same group.

“It was great today,” Blixt said. “They’re both great guys, it was very relaxed out there, and I
just had a good time. Then they ran away a little bit, and then I got lucky, I got hot in the end
and made some putts and was able to catch them in the end there. I’m really looking forward to
tomorrow.”

Jimmy Walker and Tim Herron were five strokes back after yesterday. Walker had a 66, and Herron
shot 68.

John Daly, tied for sixth at 10 under after a season-best 63 on Friday, had a 15-over 86 to drop
to last among the 72 players who made the cut.

He had a quadruple bogey, a triple bogey, two double bogeys, six bogeys and two birdies in his
worst round of the season.

Champions Tour

Steve Pate and Fred Funk each shot 3-under 69 to share the second-round lead at 8 under in the
Champions Tour’s SAS Championship in Cary, N.C.

Funk birdied four of the last seven holes. Jay Don Blake and Andrew Magee were a stroke behind
the leaders. They each shot 70.

European Tour

Branden Grace shot a 3-under 69 at Carnoustie to take a four-stroke lead heading into the final
round of the Dunhill Links Championship in St. Andrews, Scotland.
